Connie Ryan was born on Friday, February 27, 1920, in New Orleans, Louisiana. Ryan was 22 years old when he broke into the big leagues on April 14, 1942, with the New York Giants. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Connie Ryan baseball stats page.
"Connie is well remembered for an incident that took place on September 29, 1949 at Braves Field, during his last year with Boston. During a meaningless end-of-season Ladies Day game, as rain fell and the skies darkened at Braves Field, Ryan donned a raincoat while waiting to bat in the on-deck circle. Home plate umpire George Barr saw Ryan’s coat and threw him out of the contest for his not-so-subtle suggestion that the game be called. As Ryan later recounted: 'They wouldn’t listen to us when we hollered at them from the bench that it was raining too hard to play. They wouldn't even take a hint when we built a little fire out of programs and newspapers in front of the dugout. I thought I'd try to convince them some other way, that’s all.'" - Baseball Historian John McMurray (bioproj.sabr.org : The Baseball Biography Project, 'Connie Ryan', Source)
